So I got the notice that the 2019 desktop version for mac was being discontinued and I had to upgrade. I called the support line and if I want to upgrade to the new desktop it would cost me $349. I do NOT want to pay that much. I feel this is their way of squeezing more money out of their customers. I also had the option of moving to the online version for $25 a month. This would mean I'd have to learn that version since it's quite different from the desktop. I also use QB's online payroll core. I just anticipate a lot of issues as any change with QB's is always a disaster. 

Anybody else in my position and what are you going to do?? How do you feel about this upgrade sprung on us leaving us no choice but to have to upgrade?

Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
